Police investigating Sept. 13 shooting incident

Posted: September 19, 2012 - 4:31pm

Officials have released few details in the ongoing investigation into a Sept. 13 shooting incident involving a 28-year-old Conway man on South German Lane.

According to the incident report, officers were dispatched around 9:35 p.m to the residence at Carriage Court apartments following a report of a man who had been shot.

After arriving at the scene and securing the area, it was determined that the victim, Marshall Andrew Fagan, had been transported by his mother to Conway Regional Medical Center for treatment of a gunshot wound to his side.

Officers reportedly taped off the area and gathered witness statements while waiting on detectives to arrive on-scene.

LaTresha Woodruff, public information officer with the department, said the man initially told investigators at the hospital that he had been shot by a Conway police officer, but declined to comment further.

Conway attorney Frank Shaw was reportedly present at the hospital on Thursday evening.

On Monday, Shaw said he had “no comment” and denied that he is representing Fagan.

“I am not representing him at this time and I will not be representing anyone in a civil suit against the Conway Police Department. I don’t handle civil cases,” Shaw said.

Woodruff said at some point in the course of the investigation, the father of the victim relayed that a third party was responsible for the shooting incident.

On Wednesday, Log Cabin staff submitted an FOI request for all field notes in the case as defined in the state Supreme Court’s ruling in Hengel v. City of Pine Bluff, but the request was denied on Thursday by Dara Tapley, assistant to police chief A.J. Gary.

“This is an open investigation and an ongoing investigation, so therefore we can only release the initial report. The supplements and all of the other stuff will be released once the case is closed,” Tapley said.

Hmmm...

...I'd give you 50 to 1 odds on a $9,999 bet. Have to stay below $10,000 for the government report thing.

No

If Mark shot him, he surely would be dead. Mark NEVER misses his mark.

Hmm

"the man initially told investigators at the hospital that he had been shot by a Conway police officer"

Good plan, buddy. That is sure to hide everything nicely.

Encrypted communications

Yes, I'll say it again. Full-time encryption of radio communications enables CPD to hide these kinds of things from the public. It's beyond me why our city administration permits this to continue. I suggest the Log Cabin file an FOI request for radio communication tapes for the period in question. Then, the official explanation can be matched against radio traffic to see if they jive.

All the way there

Well yeah sure..... ambulances. But now are the lawyers casing local apartment complexes listening for gun shots and then just chasing the car headed for the hospital? Really, things must be tough all over.

Hmm

Busted twice in a short amount of time for carrying a concealed weapon. Sounds like someone was up to no-good.

Um FYI.....

I live in the Carriage Court's Complex. For one, LCD, they are not apartments they are condo units that are individually owned! 2. this guy is a piece of work. he has been in and out of jail on multiple weapons and drug charges, and 3.From what others around here that saw this thing, HE SHOT HIMSELF. he is a felon and not allowed to have a firearm. He picked up the shell casing and disposed of it before going to the hospital!
